People may think that playing softball is just a sport, but I believe it is much, much more. Softball is the most influential activity in my life. Ever since I was seven years old I have been playing softball. I have been on a softball travel team, a team that goes to tournaments and plays other cities and states, since I was eight. Playing softball has taught me many important lessons in life. I gained not only quickness, agility, and good health from softball, but I have also gained important values that I still believe in today. I have traveled to many different states for softball tournaments. Recently I have traveled to Colorado, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, and all over Florida to play in tournaments. Just last summer my team won the State Championship. This meant that we were ranked the number one team in the state! Winning tournaments, and titles like State Champions, is such a great feeling and one of the many rewards in playing softball....
